“What you have to decide... is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. You know that more than anybody. So don't be afraid. Be alive.”
― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

We didn’t do much on New Years Eve due to Herbert dealing with a very heavy cold and myself struggling a bit with the usual back pain. So therefore we canceled our dinner plans and just stayed in. We ended up being in bed a bit after 9 pm – I guess we are officially old 🙂

The plan was to get to the beach around lunch time for a nice picknick. I was so looking forward to use my Christmas gift I got from Amy – a picknick backpack, something I’ve always wanted but would have never spend the money on.

Unfortunately Herbert wasn’t feeling much better after a restless night. Also, we had pretty heavy winds and we decided to stay on the couch under a cozy blanket. I binged watched all three Sissi episodes (one of my favorite childhood movies).

We spend the weekend at Catalina Island. Catalina is just an hour boat ride away from the mainland and our friends own a condo on the island. For the last 9 years they’ve been inviting us to stay with them. However, this last weekend we finally made it happen.

After two days of heavy storms we luckily had the most gorgeous weekend with beautiful sunrises and amazing sunsets. Our friends showed us the island but we also had enough time to just relax and enjoy the breathtaking view from their condo.
